Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Red food coloring
- Buttercream icing (store-bought or homemade, your call!)
- Fresh strawberries or cherries for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans—because nobody likes a sticky situation!
- In a large bowl, cream your softened butter and sugar together until it’s light and fluffy. You want it to look as pretty as the Canadian Rockies!
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Pour in that glorious milk and the vanilla—heavenly scents are filling the kitchen already!
- Combine the flour and baking powder in another bowl, then gradually add it to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined, but don’t overdo it! You want fluffy, not tough.
- Divide the batter into two bowls. One will be your white marble base—leave it alone! In the other bowl, add red food coloring until it reaches the desired shade. Don’t be shy; it’s a festive cake!
- Now comes the fun part! Alternate dollops of the white and red batters into the cake pans, then swirl them together gently with a knife to create a marbled effect. Think of it as making a fancy abstract painting!
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Moment of truth—don’t peek too early!
- Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them with that luscious buttercream icing. Don’t skimp on the icing; make it a masterpiece worthy of the Canadian flag!
- Decorate with fresh strawberries or cherries to add a pop of red—voilà! Your very own Canadian Flag Cake is ready to shine like a true northern star!
Slice into it, and let the marbling reveal its magic. Serve with pride and gather all the compliments! Enjoy your delicious journey of baking—eh?
